• How to build relationships when you are struggling emotionally with a breakup.
• Practical ways to cultivate friendship after a breakup.
• How to know when a friendship is worth investing more into or whether it would be better for you to walk away.
• How society and social media are isolating us and the effect that has on ourselves and our relationships.
